This morning I've received a sommons:
"YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED and required to file with US District Court and serve upon plaintiff's attorney... whose address is... an answer to the complaint which is herewith served upon you within 20 days, or else a judgment by default will be taken against you for the relief demanded in the complaint.
There are two defendants on this summons, one is my customer that I got the shoes for and one is me. :(
1. I have no idea the shoes that my customer wanted has some kind of patent right. I mean I've seen them all over the place in Wal-Mart under totally different brand so I am guessing it's okay to sell them.
2. I did not import these shoes from another country, all I did was purchased from the supplier locally and turned around sold them to my customer and acted as a middle man, that's all.
3. And not to mention, my supplier didn't mention these shoes has patent right when I got it from him. So I'm totally confused now. :confused:
Therefore, please help! How to respond to a summons in California? What if I don't appear and answer what is the next step that will be taken!
